I just bought a new modem. The Supra 2400. It's like lightning compared to my old 300 baud acoustic coupled monster. I have had a couple of problems though. I logged onto a local BBS and downloaded a file at 2400 using Xmodem on a VT 100 emulator. I was so shocked by it's speed that I timed it-10 X-modem blocks in 6 seconds (to RAM:). That was fine, next I headed to Compuserve, I got a "CONNECT 2400" when I logged on, however when I tried to download it was averaging 10 X-modem blocks in 12 seconds. Half the speed of the local BBS. I've twice repeated logging onto the local and then Comp with the same timing results-it's as if the downloads were only occurring at 1200. Any reason for this? Ben, are you out there? This has to do with CoComm. I can't log on at either 1200 or 2400 baud. I set the baud rate, get a connect, enter my number and password, the copyright message is displayed, then-_nothing_. Its as if the machine locked up, but it hasn't. If I hit return or ^C the "SD" and "RD" flash, but that's about it. Everything works fine at 300 and I can operate normally with the VT-100 emulator. Any ideas? One last thing, Ben, will CoComm work with Whap!?
